2026 Colonies Zone Short Course Yards Championship

The 2026 Colonies Zone SCY Championship returns to George Mason University for the first time since 2019, a popular meet venue that drew hundreds of swimmers for 17 consecutive years before the pandemic. Scheduled in April after LMSC championships and ahead of USMS Spring Nationals, this three-day championship gives Masters swimmers the chance to close out their short-course season or fine-tune their racing ahead of Nationals in a fast, dual-course competition pool with a separate continuous warm-up pool. Held the same weekend as College Club Swimming Nationals, this meet is also open to CCS swimmers not attending CCS Nationals.
